I don't know what kind of rendering are you doing... If it is realtime 3D, 2D,
o even raytracing, so far...
With realtime 3D (jogl, o java3d), you can speed things up by using specials
data structures: Octrees. These data structures, are specially designed to do
cut ups and clippings of 3d spaces to only draw what fits on the viewport,
and nothing else. Believe, when you have a big scene, clipping up can really
boost things up... But there are quite a headache when you are starting with
them.
For 2D, these are known as quadtrees, but you can only use binary space
partition.
But these are software coding solutions... I don't know if these are useful to
you...
